FIRE-PLACE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,704, dated January21, 1890. Application filed March 29, 1889- Serial N 0. 305,277. (Nomodel.)

T0 at whom it may 0077106772.

Be it known that I, COWLES MEAD MoMA-' HEN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Birmingham, in the county of Jefferson and State ofAlabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inFire-Places and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referenoebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification. 1

The object of my invention is to make a fire-place in which the fuelwill be so consumed that Very little heat will escape up the chimney,but a maximum thereof be radiated into the room.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a side elevation showing the detachablefire-place with the grate closed, asin summer time; Fig. 2, afrontelevation, and Fig. 3 a vertical section, of fireplace and chimney.

In the drawings, P represents the chimney, to which are secured thejambs B B, whose upper portion is provided with the outwardlyprojectingflanges Q to form a cap, to which is pivoted the transverse plate L, thelatter being adjust-able across the throat of the chimney, as shown inFig. 3 of the drawings. This plate serves as a damper to regulate thedraft and as a heat-deflector, and by its arrange ment compels thecurrent of air to all come through the grate. The damper is regulated byhandle E and holes G.

A is the fire-box, preferably made ofcastiron and provided with anash-pan O. The latter is rearwardly held in position by the crank-shaftH, as shown by Fig. 3 of the drawings, while the latch D holds it to theupper bar of the grate M, so as to preventany soot or ashes from fallingor being blown down the chimney and into the room.

0 is the throat of the chimney.

J represents a boiler or water-heater which has trunnions whose bearingsK are in the jambs B B, the said boiler being provided with an inlet ontop and an outlet faucet near the bottom.

I is a tea-pot holder pivoted to swing horizontally over the fireor tothe outside of the grate.

N is the pivot-rod of the damper L, and F a lug which projects from therear of jambs B and through a slot at on the sides of the back A. Thislug hooks up at the end,so as to hold the back A securely to the jambs.The lower part of back A drops in behind two lugs S S,near the bottom ofthe jambs, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, thus securing the bottomof the back to the jambs.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding ofmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by LettersPatent, is

1. The fire-placejambsB B, having the bearings K K, in combination witha trunnioned boiler, as shown and described.

2. The back A and j ambs B, secured together by means of the jamb-lugs FS and back slot a, as shown and described.

I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
